Roy Keane has branded Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho 'a disgrace' for the manner in which he conducts himself on the touchline.


The Irishman, who is now assistant manager to Paul Lambert at Aston Villa, was left incensed by Mourinho during a recent Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge.

With the final minutes being played out, Mourinho approached the Villa bench in an effort to shake hands with Lambert and his staff before the final whistle sounded. Keane considers that gesture to have been a mark of disrespect, with the Portuguese tactician pushing the boundaries of acceptability with his off-field antics.

He said at the launch of his new autobiography, "I don’t mind all that (mind games) but the game was still going on.

It’s disgraceful. I’ve seen him doing it to other managers, it is a disgrace. "You wouldn’t do that on a Sunday morning, you would get knocked out." Keane, who has spent time as a manager in his own right at Sunderland and Ipswich Town, has also revealed that he has learned not to get too settled in coaching posts, with a short-term approach being taken at Villa and with the Republic of Ireland national side.

He said, "At Villa now, I never look beyond the next week. People say you have a game in three weeks but, to me, it’s about getting through this week. "Have I reflected more, been a bit more harsh on myself in this book? Probably so. newsnowmagazines.blospot.com
